I suppose the one positive of being sick is that I've had very little of an appetite so I've actually lost weight. I was never a skinny kid. Even as a child I always had some sort of pot belly. I blame genetics and my outward slanting pelvic bones...Google it, I'm serious.
But, I have recently realized that I can look pretty cut with the proper lighting. Typically an overhead lamp that cast downward shadows. I'll post a picture of my best angle so you all can marvel at my buffness.
I ended up using the best lighting scheme for me. As you can see I'm posing with my right side more prominent. And yes, I am wearing Armani boxer briefs in case you were wondering. That picture is actually taken in my house too.
Wow, doesn't that pose just scream out "sex"!
Oh well, enough about lighting.
Unfortunately nothing new to report out in the Midwestern front. I'm still awaiting word for those Nursing Technician positions. I also applied for a transport position, but some folks advised me to go ahead and wait it out for a tech position as it will be serve me going forward into nursing.
I do have an ice cream social to go to on Wednesday for the prospective students in the accelerated bachelors program. It will be interesting to see the competition. Maybe my wife will be there, oh wait, that just happens in the movies.
I did get into a couple interesting debates recently. They are of the "nerdier" variety so I apologize.
The 1st Question posed was:
Which movie is more unrealistic, Star Wars or Knocked Up?
The root of this discussion revolves around how possible is it really for a slovenly, fat slacker to meet a fine hottie at a club whom he not only impregnates, but eventually maintains a relationship with.
On the flipside is an awesome coming of age tale of Luke Skywalker and his merry band of the Rebel Alliance doing battle with Darth Vader and the evil Empire.
So whats more plausible, that he is really be dating one of these ladies? (Remember he's a weed smoking loser and she's gets pregnant)
$20 says he's their "funny" friend that always eats crazy food combinations like a doggy biscuit stuffed in a Taco Bell gordita and covered with strawberry yogurt.
Or that there could be EPIC space battles like this:
Reset Button's Conclusion: I would propose that both movies teeter on the exact same realistic/unrealistic edge. You would have to assume that at least ONCE in the history of clubs all over the world that some lucky shmuck hooked up with a super drunk hot girl, got her pregnant and she ended up keeping the baby and the shmuck. Also, with the current theories about the near infinite number of galaxies and universes, a Star Wars like conflict had to have occured with humanoid like beings.
So, its a push. It's as likely for Star Wars to really have happened as a fat slob hooking up with a hot girl and making a baby. And hopefully she didn't give him herpes.
Oh, that reminds me of that urban legend of the hot prom queen hooking up with the nerd. But when he wakes up in the morning she's gone. He goes into the bathroom and on the mirror, written in lipstick is: Welcome to the wonderful world of AIDS.
Thats a good anti-Knocked Up urban legend.
2nd Question:
(I apologize again because it gets even more dorky from here since were staying in the Star Wars universe)
Why did Obi Wan Kenobi age so much from Star Wars Episode 3 to Episode 4?
Okay a little refresher for the not-so-nerdy people reading. Star Wars Episode 3: A New Hope was the "original" Star Wars movie that came out in 1977, this is the one with Luke Skywalker and Indiana Jones. {Quick tangent: one guess on what other awesome thing happened in 1977...bonus points if you get this right}
Star Wars Episode 4: Revenge of the Sith was released in 2005. This movie is the last of the series and is where Darth Vader is created. Do you remember the extra crispy version of Hayden Christensen?
Now, according to the movie timeline, there should only be about 18-20 years between the events that happened in Episode 3 and Episode 4.
Yet, Obi Wan Kenobi went from looking like this...
Looking pensive and virile.
To looking like this...

I'm rooting for you tubby, but even he would admit that a space battle would be fucking sweet!

Still looking pensive, but now needing Viagra.
Reset Button's Conclusion: Even in his wildest dreams George Lucas had no idea that the Star Wars franchise would get that huge. So, in 1977 he cast Alec Guinness into the Obi Wan role because he needed an actual actor with chops to play the mentor role. In the later series, he needed a young and adventurous Obi Wan, thus ushering in Ewan McGregor.
Either way, Obi Wan went from "cool uncle who buys you beer" to "grandpa who's about a year from being sent to the nursing home".
Thats it from me...

I might have to try that lighting scheme. Looks like it works wonders. Thanks for the tip!!
